• • Top 3 most dissapointing MMORPGs

  • 3. Vanguard - I don't have a strong #3 but this was one I had been looking forward to and was let down by.

    2. ArchLord - I was a total newb to the genre back in early-mid 06 so I got caught up in the interest for this and went so far as to become a moderator over on the Codemasters board for the game. And then beta came. And then I was underwhelmed. And uninterested. And well, rather disappointed. But, in the end I only have myself to blame for this one.

    1. Seed - Who knows how successful the game could have been if it released with everything the developers wanted, but the premise alone was just so intriguing. Players trapped in a large colony/ship stranded on a planet not yet habitable. There were no NPC enemies to fight. Everything relied on training skills related to improving living situations and social interaction, and the choices we would make as a whole would eventually influence the direction the developers would take in changing the world. Would we look to make the planet habitable in some fashion, or would we instead look for a means of communication back to Earth so we could someday leave? Sadly, it was released as a mess of an unfinished game due to heavy financial restraints and Runestone had hoped that they would find a publisher after launch to keep them afloat. That publisher never came however, and they canceled it within the first six months. I remember not even being able to really play it during the time I got the chance to in beta because it was so broken and laggy. I still hope that someday a developer will come up with something like this, perhaps not removing combat as a whole, but giving the community the reigns to change the future on a planet in both small and large ways.

• • Priston Tale II: 2nd Engima: New Details Released

  • The link says "read more here" but goes to the main Wicked Interactive page where I can't find the article. Also, in the article it says for more information on the game go to their PT2 site at pt2.subagames.com, yet the site is still empty with regards to any information and only contains the same little CG trailer with horrible voice acting.

    Needless to say, I'm not exactly impressed with their organization skills.

• • AERIA GAMES!

  • Yeah, it's new to Aeria but certainly not "new" as I remember trying it back in mid-2006.

    For non-roleplayers, customization like cosmetic clothing, face arrangement etc are pretty pointless since those players just seek to get "cool looking gear" for the online-pride-contest. I'd not want decals and colors for my EvE ships either, just not the focus of the game.
    

    That is a rather wide generalization of non-roleplayers. I've roleplayed very little in the MMO's I've played but I love character customization in every form. When I can change all those small things some consider insignificant, it makes me feel like I'm playing something that I created as opposed to simply choosing Template B with Face C and Hair E. It's bothersome to me playing a character that visually doesn't stand out in any way, shape, or form. I don't need to change every little facial feature to be satisfied, but the options (which is the key word in all of this) to really dig in if I want to, along with those things like color customization for clothing/armor, are a big plus in my book.

• • Has anyone heard about this game, as of late?

  • Well, there's no vaportrolls because the game is currently in open beta in Korea and does exist. We know NHN has the rights to the North American distribution and they had that press release back in the summer stating that they are planning on releasing it via their ijji.com game portal. The question is when, and to that, there has yet to be any form of a concrete answer.
